STEERING
WE PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S4 IN FEB. OF THIS YEAR. I LOVED MY TOYOTA & THE GAS MILEAGE I HAS GETTING (MAJOR REASON WE BOUGHT THE COROLLA). HOWEVER, I JUST TOOK IT ON A LONG HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE DRIVE 7 HOURS THERE AND BACK. I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW THE VEHICLE HANDLED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE GOING OVER 55 MILES AN HOUR. IF I DID NOT HOLD BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL CONSTANTLY, THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT SWAYING AS IF A STRONG WIND WAS PUSHING IT SIDE TO SIDE. I ALSO OWN A SUBARU FORESTER--A SMALL SUV. I HAVE OWNED IT FOR 6 YEARS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED ON THE HIGHWAY WHAT I DID WITH THE TOYOTA COROLLA. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED AND DISMAYED. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE A 2010 COROLLA AND HAD STEERING DIFFICULTIES. AT HITTING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT WOULD FEEL LIKE THE WIND WAS BLOWING MY CAR INTO THE OTHER LANE, YET THE WIND WAS NOT BLOWING. ON 4-25-2010, MY CAR JERKED RIGHT WHILE GOING 43, CAUSING ME TO HIT A DITCH, GO AIRBORNE, HIT A TELEPHONE POLE, DO A 360 AND LAND BACK ON IT'S WHEELS. MY CAR IS NOW NOT DRIVABLE AND NOT REPAIRABLE. BEFORE THE ACCIDENT I THOUGHT IT WAS THE WIND BLOWING MY CAR, BUT MOMENTS AFTER THE WRECK I KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING MORE. SEEING OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, I NOW KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. *TR

STEERING
THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY OUR 2009 COROLLA SEEMED TO JERK ITSELF OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC, STARTED SPINNING, HIT THE GUARD RAIL WITH THE RIGHT REAR TAIL SECTION. THE CAR ESSENTIALLY BOUNCED OFF THE RAIL, CONTINUED TO SPIN ACROSS THE LANES OF TRAFFIC AND BACK, COMING TO A REST BACK ON THE SAME SIDE I HIT THE GUARD RAIL. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT NO OTHER CARS MANAGED TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS ACCIDENT. FROM THE MINUTE THE CAR FIRST JERKED OUT OF CONTROL UNTIL IT CAME TO A REST I COULD NOT GAIN ANY CONTROL OVER THE STEERING OR MOVEMENT OF THE CAR. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS TO A LESSER DEGREE ON A FEW OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS (CAR WAS PURCHASED USED, FROM A DEALER, 3/13/2010) WHICH WE THOUGHT MIGHT BE DUE TO HYDROPLANING (WE'RE IN SEATTLE WHERE THE ROADS ARE OFTEN WET BUT WE'VE DRIVEN HERE FOR 35 YEARS WITH NOTHING LIKE THIS FEELING IN ANY OTHER CAR) OR A NEED FOR NEW TIRES BUT THIS WAS CLEARLY NOT THE ONLY ISSUE. ON THOSE OCCASIONS IT ALSO FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS SUDDENLY FLOATING AND THE STEERING JERKED IT TO THE LEFT (BUT I WAS NOT GOING THROUGH A DEEP PUDDLE/HYDROPLANING). IT WAS MOMENTARY BUT ENOUGH TO SCARE ME AND MAKE ME WONDER WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. IT WAS RAINING THIS MORNING AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT BUT SOMETHING ELSE CAUSED THE CAR TO JERK ITSELF OUT OF THE LANE AND LOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE BODY SHOP AWAITING AN ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR. THE TOYOTA DEALER DIDN'T WANT TO LOOK AT IT DESPITE MY DESCRIPTION. I'M LEFT TRAUMATIZED, WITH LIKELY WHIPLASH AND A WRECKED CAR. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE! WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE! I WILL ALSO BE CONTACTING TOYOTA CORP. REGARDING THE APPARENT PROBLEM, THE ACCIDENT AND THE DEALERSHIP'S DISMISSAL. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
IT WAS WINDY ON JANUARY 24, 2011 I WAS ON A HIGHWAY HEADED TO GREAT FALLS,MONTANA WHEN RIGHT OUTSIDE OF HAVRE, MONTANA A SEMI-TRUCK DRIVER HAULING A LOAD DROVE BY ME AND A ROCK HIT MY CAR. I PULLED OVER IN HAVRE, NO ROCK CHIPS ON MY WINDSHIELD OF THE BODY. I OPENED THE HOOD AND ON MY A/C CONDENSER WAS A DENT. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OKAY. BUT, SINCE THEN MY CAR LEAKS FLUID IN THE FRONT WHERE THE CONDENSER IS. THERE IS NOTHING PROTECTING THE CONDENSER FROM ANY ROCKS, ETC. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR. MY BROTHER IS A MECHANIC AND SAID IT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT BY TOYOTA. I READ ABOUT THE TSB AC002-06. AND AM DEMANDING TOYOTA FIX THE CONDENSER AND FIX THE GAP SO MY CAR WILL BE PROTECTED FROM THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. ALSO, I TOOK MY TOYOTA FOR THE LAST RECALL TO HAVRE, MT I DO NOT WANT TO GO THERE ANYMORE. I HAD A 12:30 P.M. APPOINTMENT INSTEAD THEY TOOK A WOMAN WHO WALKED IN AFTER US IN FIRST. I WAS UPSET SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO WAIT AND WE DROVE 3 HOURS TO GET THERE. THANK YOU.. *TR

CHILD SEAT:LATCH CONNECTOR/CLIP, CHILD SEAT
I OWN A SUNSHINE KIDS RADIAN XTSL WHICH WAS INSTALLED RFING IN OUR 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA USING THE "SUPER LATCH" LATCH STRAP WHICH IS SUPPOSEDLY ABLE TO BE USED UNTIL MY CHILD REACHES 80 LBS (THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT LIMIT OF THE SEAT). DUE TO THE WAY THE BUCKLE ON THE STRAP IS, WHEN MY SON'S FOOT HIT THE BUCKLE PART OF THE LATCH STRAP, IT LOOSENED TO THE POINT I COULD MOVE THE SEAT SEVERAL INCHES AT THE BELT PATH. I REINSTALLED WITH THE SEATBELT TO AVOID THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN, BUT THAT IS KIND OF ANNOYING BEING THAT ONE REASON I BOUGHT THIS SEAT WAS FOR THE "SUPER LATCH" FEATURE. I JUST FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE TO CONTINUE USING THE LATCH SINCE MY SON CAN SO EASILY TOUCH IT WITH HIS FOOT. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2005, MAKE=COROLLA, MODEL=TOYOTA). *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, STRUCTURE
MY DAUGHTER HAD A FRONTAL COLLISION WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. OUR 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA S STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE ON ITS FRONT LEFT FENDER. OUR 2008 COROLLA SUSTAINED MAJOR FRONTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING THE DISINTEGRATION OF THE BUMPER, DAMAGE TO THE HOOD, BOTH FENDERS, RADIATOR, ETC. THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR WAS RIPPED OFF THE CHASSIS. DURING THE IMPACT, THE SEAT BELTS LOCKED, HOWEVER, THE FRONT AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED!! THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO EAST COAST TOYOTA, RT. 17, WOOD-RIDGE, NJ WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED ON FEB. 22, 2011 AS A "CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE." WE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE FAULTY AIR BAGS & THAT THEY DID NOT DEPLOY IN A FRONTAL CRASH OF 30 MPH. THE GM OF THE DEALERSHIP & GM OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION & TO HAVE A TOYOTA CORP. REP. LOOK AT THE CAR TO DETERMINE WHY THE FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTED TO TELL US THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD ONLY DEPLOY DURING A FRONT IMPACT, BUT THE CAR DID IN FACT SUSTAIN HEAVY DAMAGES DO TO THE IMPACT BUT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE IMPACT WAS SO GREAT THAT THE STEEL STABILIZER BAR WAS COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF. THAT ALONE SHOULD HAVE TRIGGERED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY NOT DRIVABLE DUE TO THE NUMEROUS DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO THE FRONT END, MOTOR, RADIATOR & OTHER PARTS. WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE DEALER, MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER & TOYOTA TO FIND OUT WHY THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE DID NOT WORK AS IT WAS DESIGNED TO. *TR
